Jim
Cunningham, City of Poway Council member and San Dieguito River Park
Board member will lead a 10 mile hike from the Trans-County trail south
of Poway, through the Poway trail system to the Old Coach North staging
area in the San Dieguito River Park where the hikers will participate in
a ceremony to commemorate the new trail connection. The ceremony will be held at the Old Coach North staging area (click here for map) at 12:00pm Saturday, October 8, 2011. Comments from participating organizations will take place with a Ranger led walk to follow. Light refreshments will be provided.  The
San Dieguito River Park, in cooperation with the City of Poway, has
established a north/south trail linkage between the San Dieguito River
Park Coast-to-Crest Trail and the Trans County Trail through the City of
Poway Trail system. The new linkage almost doubles the length of
continuous regional trail system available to trail users by joining the
23 continuous existing miles of the San Dieguito River Park system to
the 14 miles of the Trans-County system through 8 miles of the Poway
Trail system. This regional trail overlays the City of Poway
neighborhood trail system which includes 55 miles of linked trails
providing regional trail access. Established in 1989, the San Dieguito River Park is a 94,000-acre open space greenway of regional significance in San Diego's North County, stretching more than 55 miles from the ocean at Del Mar to Volcan Mountain near Julian, and home to a diverse array of sensitive animal and plant species, many of special status. The River Park aims to protect the natural and cultural resources, sensitive lands and waterways in the San Dieguito River Valley and provide compatible recreational opportunities for hikers, bikers and equestrians.
